@VectorStyler Might as well make some improvements to Frame Text as well https://youtu.be/_URRsQ_dk34

@Boldline How about using a simple rectangle of the appropriate height? And creating an Artistic Brush Preset from it? That way, this version would be the second brush. I have no idea right now what the difference to the "Pencil" version would be—at least I don't see one. [image: 1788139682287-create-artistic-brush.png]

@VectorStyler Yes,That makes more sense. If identical parameters are required, fill in the same values in both fields and then lock the ratio for easier operation.

@VectorStyler After experimenting a bit with the region option for color sampling, I have to say that it doesn't really convince me at the moment. The results simply aren't that predictable. I find using "Along Path" in conjunction with a clipping path to be more predictable— even if you might have to cut out the desired part later on. Here a pic [image: 1789376180210-clipped-along-path-small-part.png] . . . As for color sampling, as it is by now i find "Paragraphic" more useful and easier to work with. It would be great to see improvements in this area in future versions of Vectorstyler, as this method offers interesting possibilities for coloring vector object designs and serves as a nice way to create compelling color palettes.

@VectorStyler This has nothing to do with the input method. I was deleting characters without typing any input.

@VectorStyler Thank you for checking this and for trying to reproduce the problem. I appreciate it. I’ll wait for your findings.

@VectorStyler I think it might be because I use software rendering. test.zip ← Test image data.zip ← Config in %LOCALAPPDATA%\NumericPath\VectorStyler1.3\vector\data Changing it to CUDA causes the export to render incorrectly sometimes (like what this user experienced: https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/4393). OpenCL seems to work fine for both in-app rendering and exports, so I'll use that for now.

@macos I tested with this font from Adobe, it seems that these are not supported by VectorStyler. I opened a bug on this and will try to add support for these.

@VectorStyler Just a test to see whether it can handle very large documents. Mine had 12K nodes, and the programme became slow and unstable. I discovered subsequently that switching from GPU to Software in the performance preferences helped, and especially turning on the options for, in my case, 24 threads. The biggest improvement then came from rendering layers as image, a setting that did not have an impact when the performance setting was set to GPU.

Corel draw have such a feature But it doesnt have the awesome split Feature Here a Video how it works

@Li-Xiao I will try to add these.

@Li-Xiao These are bugs, I will try to fix them

@VectorStyler I have sent the results. Best regards.

Fixed in 1.3.026. Thanks

@Boldline I posted a request for something like this a while back. I looked for alternatives on macOS and found a few. While they aren't dedicated solutions, they offer quite extensive capabilities. The first one is Kando—a free app—and the second is Cirmenu, available on the App Store. There are quite a few apps of this type, but many rely on a subscription model, which isn't really my thing. Check them out; perhaps one of them will meet your expectations.

@nocturnalYL I tested this, and it can be replicated. The issue here is that when rendering at low resolution, the image is positioned at sub-pixel positions and the margin can be clipped. In this case there is no other way than using higher resolution rendering.

@Boldline If this can be replicated easily for you, then try this: back up the resources folder (the one in "~/Library/Application Support/NumericPath/VectorStyler1.3/vector/data/" then do something that causes the recent list to get reduced (and describe what this is if possible) back the resources folder up again (separate zip) and send both to me The I can compare the two resources folder to see if there are other settings/workspace changes

@macos I could not replicate this here. Are you on Windows or MacOS?

@Boldline I opened a bug on this.

@Li-Xiao I will try to fix this
